But what’s important is that this translates in direct business savings for the University compared to existing approaches:

$6.17 million in benefits (discounted) over five years

ROI of 509%

Payback in 9.5 months

(Yes, it’s a 3D pie chart. You’ll get over it 🙂 )*

And it’s not just about doing things more efficiently today, it’s about the new possibilities for the future:

“The university believes that SAP HANA will help it realize other benefits, such as improved staff utilization rates, efficiencies in budgeting, and even revenue-producing mobile applications, although this study has not quantified these potential benefits because they are less near term in nature.”
